Condenser means capacitor, an electronic component which stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field. The term condenser is actually obsolete but has stuck as the name for this type of microphone, which uses a capacitor to convert acoustical energy into electrical energy.
Condenser Microphones. An Condenser microphone is a type of microphone that consists of a pair of charged plates that can be forced closer or further apart by variations in pressure. In effect, the plates act like a sound-sensitive capacitor. condenser microphone needs to receive an external voltage to both charge the diaphragm of the microphone so that the microphone can have charged plates (positive and negative plates) and to provide power to the amplifier.
